Word For The Day, Tuesday, July 8, 2008

---

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

edacious \i-DAY-shus\

-adj
Given to eating; voracious; devouring.

[Origin: from Latin edax, edac-, gluttonous, consuming, from edo, edere, to eat.]

[SoothingDave]

Hoope you all had an edacious holiday weekend!

[NeoCaveman]

yo

[xsmommy]

today will be an edacious celebration of my youngest child’s 14th bday : )

[tioga]

too bad all thos edacious picnickers who over did the watermelon on the 4th must have been sadly disappointed....

[theDentist]

My weekend was far less edacious than you’d expect, leaving me in a voracious state come Monday morning. And a Salad for lunch and with Dinner really doesn’t do the trick.

[SoothingDave]

I’ve got T-shirts older than that. ;-)

[SoothingDave]

Salad never does the trick. It’s only purpose is to prop up the balsamic vinegar cartel.

[NeoCaveman]

too bad all thos edacious picnickers who over did the watermelon on the 4th must have been sadly disappointed....

Don't be so sure. The placebo effect is a well documented phenomena.

[theDentist]

I fully agree... it’s also a way of getting vending machine sales to increase.

[tioga]

Happy Birhtday xsbrownie!

[xsmommy]

we didn’t even get to eat the one i bought. i didn’t think i needed to keep it refrigerated so last night when i put the knife into it, it belched! it had gone bad. all the viagra is in the trash now! ; )

[xsmommy]

oh my gosh that is ADORABLE, she will love it! her uncle sent her a gift card to Barnes and Noble for her bday which is a great gift, but unfortunately it was an AMERICAN GIRL themed gift card, which was a bit insulting to a 14 year old! though she does secretly wish she had a little sister that she could take to see the Kit Kittridge movie that is out now. We read those books together when she was small and she has the doll. she said she wants to see it when it comes out on dvd but can’t possibly walk into the theater to see it at her age!

[tioga]

on, NO! the trials of growing up have already hit her!

[NeoCaveman]

The city of Seattle is edaciously stupid.

The edacity of dope.

[CholeraJoe]

Happy Birthday to xsbrownie!!!!!!!!

Lucy was jamming on the way to work this morning. Primus, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Cure and Joan Osborne.

[CholeraJoe]

Oops. Forgot my House Crest:

Happy Birthday, xsbrownie!!!!!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

We bought our daughter this cute, tiny grill for her apt - unfortunately it only cooks a few items at a time, so our Fourth of July feast took a while to cook.....

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Bill Clinton, edacious, rapacious
His wife craves the power, tenacious
Chuck Schumer’s loquacious
Obama’s mendacious
What a crew, holy crap! GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!

[SoothingDave]

As each burger became ready, you could have auctioned them off. ;-)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Ha - we nuked a few toward the end....

[SoothingDave]

You could always get chicken or ribs and do a Yankee “pre-cook” inside and use the grill for putting the sauce and char on them.

[NeoCaveman]

Bill Clinton, edacious, rapacious

And the Bent One opened his rapist mouth again and smeared all POW's

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Yes, I’ve done ribs that way. This way they got the smokey flavor first and it turned out ok. Mainly we just wanted her to feel comfortable about the grill - sometimes using charcoal is a bit intimidating at first.

[mikrofon]

Watch out folks -- they're looking to push more meds on your overly-edacious kids...

[NeoCaveman]

Laura Logan's time in Iraq was apparently safe enough for her to fulfill her edacious appetites.

And she is very much not guilty

[ConorMacNessa]

Rest assured, if Obama gets in, we will again be subject to the Democrats’ edacity for taxation and spending.

[tioga]

this edacious tome of porn about OUR First Lady....I don't plan to read this trash.

[CholeraJoe]

So what's up with her boobs in this picture? It looks like they are different sizes or in the wrong position. Wardrobe malfunction?

[Gabz]

Good thing this bat wasn't edacious.

That thread is a hoot, the jokes just write themselves.

[Gabz]

Happy Birthday xsbrownie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gabz]

....I don't plan to read this trash.

I wouldn't even open the thread when I saw the article title.

[NeoCaveman]

rather odd, ain’t it?

[RightWhale]

What’s up with these edacious Presidential campaigns anymore, not only wolfing down $ billions, but chewing up years in the process? Time is money, or money is time, or both.

[SoothingDave]

As a matter of perspecitve, Americans spend less each year on Presidential elections than they do on yogurt.

Then again, yogurt is live and active.

[tioga]

book is being released DURING the next republican convention......what losers.

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Washington, unlike the founder for whom its named, is exhibiting its audacious bodacious curvaceous edacious ferocious ungracious horacious voracious appetite - for all our dollars but tempered by none of our sense.

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Salad never does the trick. It’s only purpose is to prop up the balsamic vinegar cartel.

Never did figure eating eating green things was very appetizing ...

[tioga]

-was the doc drinking when he gave her the boob job? LOL

[tioga]

hey, throw some barbecued chicken onto some lettuce and I am all set for lunch...

[CholeraJoe]

In another pic I saw of her, I opined that she was homegrown.

[SoothingDave]

Do you want fries on top of that? (That’s the way we roll around here.)

[tioga]

nope, just some salad dressing and lots of veggies

[tioga]

well, then when I am typing my pcr, unequal chest rise? LOL...never have I typed that for a pair of unlevel boobs...

[CholeraJoe]

A nurse that used to work for me was quite well endowed and when the room was chilly, it was very plain that hers were on different levels. Perhaps her shirt was too tight. Although I never saw, I suspect when hers were unfettered that gravity had a significant effect.

[secret garden]

You are dang good Truthy!

[xsmommy]

thanks! she and i had lunch at chickfilA, at her request, and then we went to Hot Topic where she found some Harry Potter stuff on clearance that she didn’t already have so she got those things. she is enjoying her bday because it is a day off of work for her : ) We will meet xshub, xsboy and xsteen for an early dinner before xsboy’s SAT prep class this evening, at California Pizza Kitchen. yummy cobb salad i plan to have there : )

[Gabz]

Maybe your former nurse should have had one of these

[Gabz]

For a day off from work it sure sounds like she’s keeping busy!!!!

Mine is writing thank you notes and cards right now for her b’day presents. My aunt went totaly over board this year. She had asked for an idea about something “fun” as opposed to educational and I suggested a game for her nintendo DS, which of course my 75 year old aunt has no clue about, but she is resourceful and did some research and came up with 3 titles and asked me if Jax had any of them. She didn’t. Well bless her heart, she didn’t just pick one of them, she ordered all 3! For the 2 weeks before her b’day I got to know the UPS drivers around here quite well :)

[xsmommy]

sounds like jax had a great bday too! xsbrownie has a bunch of stuff to open later. her main gift is the ashton kutcher nikon coolpix digital camera she wanted. she will be able to take pix this weekend at xsniece’s wedding. xsteen is a bridesmaid, so this is going to be a big weekend for our family, the first family wedding.
